Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Tags : None The Lindy 40 Ford from Model Roundup pulled into the Nerf Fab Shop; decals from another source are en route. Kit included some nice flame decals. The Chrysler will be pushed under the tarp in the back of the shop as the Boyz start building TWO Gobers--this one and another in 1/43! Now I have to figure out how to backdate them to 1939 coupes. Nerf Last Edited By: Nerfbarz 05/05/08 04:36 PM. Edited 1 time.

And not too much difference between the 2 cars (39-40) Of course fine scale folks will catch it. "They Didn't Say You Couldn't" - Smokey Yunick

As I recall, about the only difference between the two was the grill. One of the two had a wide chrome grill while the other had a narrow chrome grill. I have a 39/40 sedan on the way. When it arrives I'll see what the differences are. Patrick

Saw one of those incorrect boxes on the Bay a few weeks back. The 39 sedan will make an outstanding jalopy. Last Edited By: Nerfbarz 05/05/08 07:19 PM. Edited 1 times.

Even Gober's boy, who restored the actual #50, said it was a 39 Ford. Needs investigatin' Aha, tis a 39! Last Edited By: Nerfbarz 05/06/08 05:16 AM. Edited 2 times.

I thought it was a 1938, hit the 7 by mistake in my previous post. In the thirties Ford used the previous years DeLuxe front ends on the next years Standard models. That's what threw me off. I don't know if there has ever been a model of a 1939 Standard coupe or sedan. You might have to find a 1938 DeLuxe, if one has ever been made, and graft the front end to your 1939 body.

Not a whole lot of difference in a 39 and 40 other than the grille and the tail lights. The 39 had teardrop tail lights and the 40 had chevrons.

The "sides" of the 40 hood were actually part of the 39's body. Last Edited By: Nerfbarz 05/07/08 03:01 PM. Edited 2 times.
